This property has been on Booking.com since Dec 17, 2008.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Noisy, congested area so difficult to get in and out of, were not forthcoming with fees (parking was listed separately as was the resort tax). Very simple for high price with no bar/pool/activity. Would not recommend or stay there again. Very disappointed given price. Jazzed up motel at best.

Bathroom was updated, bed was comfortable

very convenient location - good access to the Promenade, the SM pier, shopping, restaurants, etc. We had a court yard room, which I suspect was quieter then the ocean view rooms.

Lighting in room was not good, no light on one side of the bed. Floor lamp in room had no available electrical outlet so was useless. Rather have refrigerator than mini bar. Do not expect a courtyard view...there is no courtyard to view, just synthetic turf on a patio and the back alley.

The hotel's location is it's biggest asset and in Santa Monica that is important. Rooms and lobby décor very modern and inviting. Staff is helpful. Bathroom very large and bright.

Disappointing

• Double Room with Two Double Beds - Courtyard

• Stayed 7 nights

Small room and not enough space for clothes. They did not clean the
room for three consecutive days. When they finally did the cleaning, it
was very superficial. When we complained, they ask us to talk to the
manager the day after. Parking is expensive for long stays. Free
internet is slow.

Great location. Nice lobby.

Some of the staff could have improved their customer service. They seemed a little stressed at check in and very spacey.

The only thing that didn't work well for us was the wi-fi. It was difficult finding a connection to it depending on where you were in the room and just logging on was taking forever.

The Ocean view is wonderful and the rooms are very clean. The staff is super friendly and the place is simply gorgeous.
